NCT ID: NCT03593356
Last Updated: 2025-02-14
Results Overview
Measured by Receptive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test (ROWPVT). We analyze conceptual vocabulary scores. Minimum raw value: 0; Maximum raw value: 111. Higher score indicates a better outcome. References: Martin, N. A., \& Brownell, R. (2011). ROWPVT-4: Receptive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Age 48 monthsPopulation: An additional 31 participants attempted this assessment but were excluded from analysis for the following reasons: child's behavior or responses did not yield a valid score (n=25); technical error (n=4); experimenter error (n=1); primary language neither English nor Spanish (n=1).
Measured by Receptive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test (ROWPVT). We analyze conceptual vocabulary scores. Minimum raw value: 0; Maximum raw value: 111. Higher score indicates a better outcome. References: Martin, N. A., \& Brownell, R. (2011). ROWPVT-4: Receptive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test.

Timeframe: Age 6Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary (EOWPVT) monolingual and bilingual version. Score range monolingual version: 0-185, bilingual version: 0-180; higher scores indicate better performance. Because the two versions of the test are not co-normed, the primary outcome will be a derived "conceptual score" or sum of the raw scores on all individual items that appear on both versions of the test. Expect higher scores in high- than low-cash gift group. Reference: Martin, N., \& Brownell, R. (2011). Expressive one-word picture vocabulary test (4th ed.). Novato: Academic Therapy Publications.

Timeframe: Age 36 monthsMeasured by the sum of the two questions listed below included in the Parents' Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS): 1. Do you have any concerns about how your child talks and makes speech sounds? (0: No; 1: Yes or a little) 2. Do you have any concerns about how your child understands what you say? (0: No; 1: Yes or a little)". Minimum score: 0; Maximum score: 2. Higher score indicates worse outcome. We will estimate the statistical significance of the entire family of related measures in the Child Language Development outcome cluster measured during the same wave using step-down resampling methods for multiple testing (see statistical analysis plan for more details; Westfall and Young, 1993).

Timeframe: Age 48 monthsPopulation: An additional 187 participants were excluded for the following reasons: mother did not consent to EEG collection (n=70), child or parent refused to participate after consenting (n=86), technical problems/experimenter error or ill-fitting cap (n=13), visit ended before EEG collection (n=4), a developmental condition prohibiting collection (n=1), poor data quality (n=4), not enough usable data (n=9).
Measured by high-density in-lab electroencephalography (EEG). Because of limitations in power expected with multiple testing adjustments, we are preregistering a single composite of mid-to-high-frequency whole-brain power summing across alpha, beta, and gamma bands, from 7 to 45 Hz. The composite will reflect the sum of power values (μV2) for each 1-Hz frequency bin between 7 and 45 Hz. Please see statistical analysis plan for more details. References: Tomalski, P., et al. (2013); Otero, G. A., et. al (2003); Marshall, P. J., et.al. (2004) Troller-Renfree, S. V., et. al. (2022). The impact of a poverty reduction intervention on infant brain activity.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Age 6Measured by high-density in-lab electroencephalography (EEG). Ages 6 and 8 Primary hypothesis: Because of limitations in power expected with multiple testing adjustments, we are preregistering a single composite index of mid-to-high-frequency whole-brain power summed across alpha, beta, and gamma bands (defined as between 7 and 45 Hz). This frequency composite index sums absolute power (μV2) across all single-Hz intervals in the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma bands (7-45 Hz). We hypothesize that, in the eyes-closed condition, the high-cash gift group will show more power in this composite relative to the low-cash gift group. One-tailed t-tests will be used to test this directional hypothesis. See the Statistical Analysis Plan (Phase 2) for additional details and references.

Timeframe: Age 6Child nail samples will be collected to yield a measure of the concentration of cortisol in pg/mg (picograms per milligram). To ensure cortisol levels are within an expected range, values above 500 and equal to or less than 0 will be assigned a missing value. To account for potential outliers, values below 500 will be truncated at the 99th percentile. Cortisol values will be log-transformed. We hypothesize the high-cash gift group will have lower cortisol values when compared to the low-cash gift group. If both fingernail and toenail are collected we will control for whether fingernail or toenail. Reference: Phillips, R., Kraeuter, A. K., McDermott, B., Lupien, S., \& Sarnyai, Z. (2021).

Timeframe: Age 48 monthsMeasured by the Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability. Modified on September 30, 2022 to no longer measure child IQ, as described below. Minimum score: 10; Maximum score: 90. Higher score indicates a better outcome. Note: The IQ score is calculated using two subtests -- Matrices and Recognition -- and we began our fieldwork on July 9, 2022 with both. On the basis of preliminary analysis of the first 71 cases, we discovered that 21% of participants scored at the floor of the Recognition assessment. We therefore dropped the Recognition subtest from our data collection instrument on September 30 2022, precluding us from calculating IQ in subsequent participants. Scores on the Matrices subtest, which measures visual processing and abstract spatial perception (not IQ per se), are now registered as an age-4 secondary outcome.

We also preregister the corresponding analyses of data from the eyes-open condition as secondary hypotheses, with the same directional hypotheses as the eyes-closed condition. A second set of secondary analyses are based on a different estimation approach. Consistent with another RCT examining brain activity, we will analyze band-specific effects using mixed-effects models, with group as the between-subjects factor and region as within-subjects factor, to examine ITT impacts on each band of relative power in the eyes-closed condition. Our secondary hypotheses for each band are as follows: Theta (high-cash\<low-cash), Alpha (high-cash\>low-cash), Beta (high-cash\>low-cash), and Gamma (high-cash\>low-cash). One-tailed t-tests will be used given directional hypotheses. No further multiple-testing adjustments beyond the us use of multi-level models will be used. See Statistical Analysis Plan.

The first several months of data collection revealed large racial and ethnic differences in willingness to provide a hair sample, due to both cultural and practical reasons.

The first several months of data collection revealed large racial and ethnic differences in willingness to provide a hair sample, due to both cultural and practical reasons. Because of the large amounts of non-random missing data, which would both compromise our statistical power and limit the generalizability of any findings, we dropped hair cortisol from our data collection procedures on October 25, 2022.
